Morning girls,

Sorry I didn't get around much over the weekend. Kate, thanks for the recipes. We ended up using the one from joy of cooking and they were great but I kept yours for future! Our little date night was fun but it kind of made for a disastrous food weekend all together. Oh well, they're allowed once and a while.

I FINISHED INSANITY TODAY!!!! I need to take my "after" pictures because I think they will tell the real story as the scale is UP again. I'm trying to just ignore it because i know my body looks different.

Today I need to do laundry, some shopping and cleaning in order to get ready to leave Wednesday morning!! I'm so excited.

Have a great Monday everyone. My posting will be sporadic for the next two weeks. Keep it clean everyone!!
 
Oh yeah, does anyone have any of the "newer" firm workouts. I can't believe how many they've done since the "transfirmer" series. Interesting... they even have one called the 500 calorie workout. What a claim! :)
 
Good Morning !

I wasn't here at all over the weekend- just had a few busy days with family ! :)

Angie- congrats at finishing Insanity !!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to see pics !!!!

Went to bed at 11:30 and was awake by 3:30. ughhhhhhh

Hope everyone had a great weekend. Will bb after working out .

Morning Angie! I have never done a Firm workout in my life! Sorry I can't help with that. Please do take the pictures - all this buzz about Insanity and all these ladies doing it with their DH, and I have started talking to Chris about it. I would love to see your pictures. Have fun packing!

Sorry I wasn't around much this weekend. And sorry I haven't been around much in general lately. I am super busy, and - well - my eating has not been all that clean-and-tidy.

I am SO READY for this half-marathon. For those of you who read my little FB thing, you know this. I did my 12 miles yesterday with (relative) ease. When did I become a woman who ran 12 miles with ease? This sh*t is crazy! But ANYWAY, 12 miles is definitely as much of a mental challenge as it is physical, if not more. And it was pretty damn cold - about 38 degrees - but no rain - but VERY gusty winds. I am glad that I made myself do the run outside because I never know what kind of weather I will get on race day.

The only thing missing from my race readiness is....the nutrition piece. I have 3 weeks left, and the food I consume over these next three weeks can really make or break me I believe. I am not carb loading yet (that's only a few days before the race), but I need to eat as balanced as possible. My diet has been seriously lacking in green veggies in particular.:confused:

Anyway, sorry again that I haven't been around that much but I will do better - you ladies have to hold me accountable over these next few weeks!
 
Morning

Katie that's fantastic that you can run 12 miles.

Angie you can look on collagevideo.com to see the reviews of the firm. They do have many workouts but the workouts are not advance, if that's what you are looking for.

Becky sorry about lack of sleep

My weekend was 100% clean but i only did 1 workout. so now i'm behind. Oh well. Today w/o will be sts shoulders, tri and chest....long warm up on ellip
 
Good Morning!

Wendy, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think the weekends are the hardest part for all of us!

Angie, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! That is so exciting! Did you see big improvements in your final fit test? I would be po'd at the scale too. That is very frustrating.
I'm a former FIRMaholic - I have soooo many VHS!

Becky, Have a great WO!

Katie, Your 12 miles is fantastic! I can't even imagine!
Keep those eats clean today!

Robin, Looks like you're making up for that missed WO! Have a good one!

-
Normal day ahead for me. CLean eats planned, Insanity tonight, a few errands during the day. Nothing too exciting - probably a good thing!:)
 
good morning everyone. thanks for all the kind words. i feel terrible being such a downer, and i am really trying, but, i dunno.

angie, fbaulous you finished insanity. but ignore that scale, esp if you did not eat totally clean and tidy this weekend. proof is in the clothes and mirror! congrats!

katie, way to run! i think insanity is right up yur alley, esp if you want a break from running. it gives me that nice little high running gives and is very time efficient. love it!

kate, good morning. action packed day for you. enjoy!

robin, ikwym about getting behind in wos. ah well, new start today. and great job on the eats.

hi becky. sorry for the lack of sleep! hope tonight is beter.

it is cool and crisp here. i am in a quandary sort of. there have been several horrifically violent acts on women right near where we live. has me questioning my early am run outside alone. so, i am getting mace and will bring the dog more now that is coler. today i will run after the kiddos are in school, also want to do an insanity wo later. we will see. aeats were great yday. i went to the aniaml er again, and on the way home, i so wanted to stop for some ic (yes, all by myslef:eek::eek:). anyways, i did not, and i am so happy about that. gotta run

goals1. smile all day
2. clean and tidy
3. make klaud's lentil crock pot soup:p
 
NIna, YIKES! Mace for sure! When we were first married we lived near RR tracks. There were cases around the country at that time of a man raping/killing women by RR tracks. Mike worked out of town then and I would call him at night crying my eyes out, completely petrified of every noise I heard!:eek: Poor guy was hours away - what could he do?:p
Good job avoiding IC! Mike and I shared a very small piece of the cake i made yesterday - it was worth every bite!:D
 
Workout was back & biceps from disc 15 , meso 2. Really good one !

Nina, don't apologize ! You are going through some stuff and have every right to feel the way you do and are free to talk about it here !
You're with friends !!! :)

Gotta shower and head out . I have a check up this morning !

Becky
 
Happy Monday!

So the wedding last night was fun but it was a bear getting the girls up for school this morning. Darrin told me I looked "smokin'" and my brother told me I didn't look as muscular-he didn't like the way I looked last year. I ended up with dark red peep toe slingbacks with a 4" heel-I'll post pics as soon as I get them:) And I managed to go grocery shopping and do Push Pull yesterday too! Today is laundry, cleaning, and dance. Eats will be clean-no excuses with a full fridge. Workout will be cardio-either step or the treadmill and abs.

Angie, way to go on Insanity! Are you crazy excited for Wednesday? My brother just came in from NY and he'll be here for 2+ weeks-can't wait to spend time with him!

Becky, sorry about the short sleep.

Katie, way to run, girl! We'll keep you accountable, no worries!

Robin, great job on the clean eats over the weekend! That's when I cave to every bad food imaginable-like the pizza and Taco Bell and ice cream I had this weekend:eek: Have a great workout!

Kate, your day sounds like mine-minus the Insanity-the workout anyway;) Wish I could share cake!

Nina, please be safe. A run AND Insanity?! How do you do that?! I'm still sore from the kb I did on Friday! Please don't feel bad about your posts-look at me. That's why we're here-support. And I hope you like the soup:)

Gotta eat some breakfast!
 
Why am I PLAGUED by clogged milk ducts?!?!?! I feel awful right now - chilled, headache, body ache, EXHAUSTED!!! ugh!

Becky, Great Wo! Hope the checkup is uneventful!

Klaudia, Can't wait to see pics! I wouldn't be able to WALK in those shoes! Flats are it for me!
Hope you have a great, productive, clean-eating day!:D
 
oh kate, so so sorry! are you sure it is a milk duct and not the flu? scary story on 60 min on swine flu last night.... feel ebtter.

klaud, soup is simmering away in crock pot. i cannot wait to see pics of you!

becky, good luck at the doc

run done, cleaning and telephoning and laundry done. should do yard work, but i am on the computer instead:p back later
 
w/o done :D ellip 30min....sts 16 shoulders, chest and tri...all of my weight selections increased by 10#...I almost died. I love those back off sets.

Happy Birthday Wendy


Angie ^5s on finishing insanity...way to go. I know that you are more tone and that's what is important IMO. Look at Cathe.

Hi Everyone!

I didn't feel like going to work today so I stayed in bed way too late and then Chris reminded me it was cleaning day. So I got up quickly got dressed and made it to work. One of my employees is leaving along with one of my friends. I really want to leave so it is depressing that they are leaving before me. I did not get my workout in this morning but I will try this evening if I can deal with my allergies. Plan is STS M2 Back and Bi's Disc 15.

Klaudia, way to go on looking great in your dress. Glad you had a good time.
Kate, sorry about the milk duct. I hope you feel better.
Nina, ^5 on avoiding IC. That is really scary about the attacks. Be careful.
Becky, good luck with the checkup.
Robin, wtg on the weight increase. That is huge.
Angie, I did the Firm a long time ago but not recently. Congrats on finishing Insanity.
Wendy, Happy Birthday! That is the one day you can enjoy dessert.
Katie, glad you are ready for your marathon! Eats are a mental challenge too!
Lisa, is today a little calmer for you?
 
Thanks for the good luck wishes at the dr. It was just a checkup and all went well. The dr. said he thought I was a personal trainer !!! .....?? don't know where he got that but I assured him I was not.
I do have to go get some bloodwork in the next few days, but it's all routine stuff.
Kate, hope you feel better soon !!!! I'm with you on flats ! I'm addicted to shoes, but mostly tennis shoes !!! :)
Becky
 
Nina, I'm sure it's a CMD. My boob is bright red with 3 big lumps in it.:mad::mad: Fun, no?
You are Mrs. Productive today!

Robin, WTG! I love backoff sets too!

Colleen, Sorry for a rough start to your day! That stinks when a Jammie Day gets ruined!

Becky, ^5 on the compliment from the Dr!!!

-
Nice morning. Clean eats except for a couple bites of Isabel's milkshake at lunch. It went so good w/ my soup!:p Still feel yuck. Running a temp, but that's normal for me w/ this rotten CMD.
 
Productive day here-lots of cleaning and laundry done. Now on to sheets-blech. Eats were clean until I popped open the bag that contains my crack-Nacho Cheese Doritos:eek: I've recovered now and will be working out extra hard to pay my penance.

Kate, hope you feel better-cmd are not fun. Milkshakes make everything better, no?

Robin, thanks for the compliment-I was kinda lettin' it all hang out;) Great job on the workout!

Colleen, Danica's allergies are really acting up too-not fun. Hope work goes well and you feel better to work out tonight.
 
KLaudia, I love a good productive day like that! I'm afraid that WON'T be today for me. All the little piles around the house are about to drive me batty yet I feel so lousy I don't care right now.:p
LOL @ crack! I haven't bought Doritos in years for the VERY SAME REASON!

-
Trying to get up the gumption to do a CS wo. A nap sounds rather lovely tho.... As if I actually COULD fall asleep in the middle of the day!
